Modeling the Chronology of a Late Precontact Site Using Radiocarbon and Trade Good Dates
Late precontact- and contact-period sites often produce multiple sources of chronological information, including stratigraphy, radiocarbon dates, European trade goods, and pottery seriation patterns. In this article, we describe a step-by-step approach to incorporating such information in an OxCal-based Bayesian chronology model, with special emphasis on incorporating trade-good dating into radiocarbon-based modeling. The Middle Grant Creek site …
An isotopic analysis of Late Lapita and State Period diets in Tonga
Stable isotope and radiocarbon analyses of livestock from the Mongol Empire site of Avraga, Mongolia
Patterned and plain baked clay from pre-pottery contexts in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia
Multi-isotopic analysis of first Polynesian diet (Talasiu, Tongatapu, Kingdom of Tonga)
Early Goats in Bali, Indonesia
Two thousand years ago, maritime trade flourished in Southeast Asia and archaeological excavations have revealed that Island Southeast Asia played an important role within developing trading networks. The sites of Sembiran and Pacung on the north coast of Bali, Indonesia, have produced a wide range of artifacts that demonstrate links to mainland and island Asia. Here, we examine faunal remains from these sites to assess the role that livestock pl…
New dates for earth mounds at Weipa, North Queensland, Australia
This paper reports new radiocarbon determinations for late Holocene occupation in the Weipa region of Far North Queensland, Australia. Earth mounds along the margins of small wetlands and freshwater creeks developed mainly after 2200 years ago, but are concentrated within the past 500 years. Their establishment appears to be associated with changing environmental conditions and a regional increase in the availability of permanent water sources ar…
Mortuary Caves and the Dammar Trade in the Towuti–Routa Region, Sulawesi, in an Island Southeast Asian Context
Archaeological evidence from survey and cave excavation in the Towuti-Routa region of Sulawesi suggests the following sequence of late Holocene cultural change. Settled communities whose subsistence included an agricultural component had established themselves by the early centuries a.d. and began the use of caves for mortuary purposes. Extended inhumations are the oldest attested mortuary practice, overlapping in time with secondary burials in l…

Re‐evaluating the timing of the Indonesian trepang industry in north‐west Arnhem Land
The Malara (Anuru Bay A) Macassan trepang‐processing site was investigated from 2008 to 2010, to test two chronological models of the timing of cultural contact between north‐west Arnhem Land and South‐East Asia. Currently, the models of contact between South‐East Asian people and Australian Indigenous people are a “long model” of pre‐Macassan and Macassan contact (>200 years) and a “short model” of only Macassan contact (<120 years). The aims of…

Isotopic uniformity and segregation in Tongan mounds
Humification in northeast Australia
The identification of wetter and drier phases from the last deglaciation to the Late Holocene has been a valuable outcome of palaeoenvironmental (chiefly palynological) studies of northeastern Australia conducted over the past 40 years. Few studies have, however, focussed on the identification of wetter and drier phases in the wet tropics, and none have set their focus on the last 4000 years, a period when northeastern Australia is generally acce…
Earthenware of Malara, Anuru Bay
Previous excavations at Malara (Anuru Bay A), a Macassan trepang processing site in Arnhem Land, produced a substantial quantity of earthenware pottery (Macknight 1969). Earthenware pottery has also been reported and collected from Macassan sites elsewhere along the Northern Territory and Kimberley coastlines. Although several studies have been undertaken on earthenwares from Macassan sites in Australia, it was uncertain whether any included sher…
Revisiting the strontium contribution of sea salt in the human diet
Food fit for a Khan
Two Clocks
Radiocarbon analysis and ceramic typology assessment are commonly used to date late Holocene archaeological sites in Island Southeast Asia. We apply both methods to date the site of Macapainara in East Timor, and they produce substantially different age ranges for this site. The radiocarbon dates are consistently later in time than ceramic typology dates from the same or adjacent stratigraphic levels. We assess the various sources of error for th…
Examining the Origin of Fortifications in East Timor
The remains of fortified archaeological sites abound in hilltop locations on the island of East Timor (Timor-Leste). Archaeologists have linked the emergence of these fortified settlements with environmental change. Some point to a period of reduced rainfall and increased environmental fluctuations beginning about AD 1000, while others cite relatively large-scale climate change during the post-AD 1300 transition from the Medieval Warm Period to t…
Buried on Foreign Shores
This study uses strontium (87Sr86Sr), oxygen (δ18O) and carbon (δ13C) isotope analysis of archaeological tooth enamel samples to investigate the origins of human remains from two sites in Arnhem Land, Northern Territory: a coastal Macassan site and an Indigenous rockshelter complex. The study aims to resolve whether two individuals from the Macassan site originate from outside Arnhem Land and, if so, whether their place of origin can be determine…
Occasional Hunts or Mass Kills? Investigating the Origins of Archaeological Pronghorn Bonebeds in Southwest Wyoming
It is often unclear whether an archaeological animal bonebed was formed by a mass kill of individuals from a single prey population or through the accumulation of a number of separate kills which occurred over a long time period or at multiple locations. The isotope ratio variation within animals from an archaeological bonebed can be used to investigate this question by comparing the isotope ratio variation within an archaeological assemblage to …
Mortality date estimation using fetal pronghorn remains
Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) fetal remains are sometimes recovered from archaeological contexts. Pronghorn have consistent reproductive schedules so their remains may provide information on seasonality of site occupation and number of mortality events. To investigate the reliability of fetal remains for seasonality and mortality event assessment, bone size and tooth eruption were measured in a sample of modern fetal pronghorn remains with kn…
The use of stable isotope ratio analysis to distinguish multiple prey kill events from mass kill events
Cross-cultural estimation of the human generation interval for use in genetics-based population divergence studies
The length of the human generation interval is a key parameter when using genetics to date population divergence events. However, no consensus exists regarding the generation interval length, and a wide variety of interval lengths have been used in recent studies. This makes comparison between studies difficult, and questions the accuracy of divergence date estimations. Recent genealogy-based research suggests that the male generation interval is…
